Why do the "family values" repubs support decisions that hurt families?!
Both via political bills and their corporate friends who seem determined to break down America's infrastructure for the sake of their own profits?

Most divorces happen BECAUSE of money troubles.

Some even ditch their spouses when the spouse loses his or her job, isn't that nice? /sarcasm

3. Because they are totally disconnected. It is also why they are
feeling so persecuted these days. They have more power than ever but have never been more unhappy. Happiness comes when you do something compassionate and good. When you are assholes and mean, you feel unhappy. Just the way it is.

5. I'll never understand the logic
I am against abortion rights, therefore George W Bush wasn't wrong to appoint Brown head of FEMA.

Huh?

I think marriage is between a man and a woman, therefore supply side economics works.

Wha?

6. Depends upon WHICH families.
To paraphrase Ayn Rand, some people just don't count . . .
